Second Prize:
Maw-Maw’s Hamburger Crunch
Catherine L Blackwood, Columbus, Ohio
As an eleven year old sixth grader, in 1949, one of my after school duties was to prepare supper for our family.
I learned to be very creative with what I found in the refrigerator and cupboards. Sometimes my creations were well received and other times not so much. One of their favorites and always well received was Maw-Maw’s Hamburger Crunch Stuff.
Maw-Maw’s Hamburger Crunch Stuff started out as “Katie’s Hamburger Crunch Stuff”. When I married and started my own family, it became “Mom’s Hamburger Crunch Stuff”.
Now that I’m a Grandmother and Great-grandmother, it has become “Maw-Maw’s Hamburger Crunch Stuff”.
The dish is very easy to prepare and travels well to picnics, potlucks, and family reunions.
